An opinion letter https://www.nacds.org/ceo/2021/0827/7-22-21-Practicing-Pharmacy-into-Nevada.pdf issued by the Board’s General Counsel in July now interprets the law to require that any pharmacist who dispenses or compounds prescriptions for a controlled substance or dangerous drug for a patient located in the state of Nevada needs to be registered/licensed with the Board. This interpretation is a complete reversal of the Board’s long-standing practice of requiring a non-resident pharmacy to hold a Nevada license, but not the individual pharmacists who work at the pharmacy. 

Also in Nevada, the Board of Pharmacy will hold a three-day Board meeting in Las Vegas on August 31-September 2. The Board’s agenda and information on the videoconference link are available here – January 2000 Agenda (nv.gov)
